About this listen

It's normal for most of us to struggle with procrastination. But if you started a diet or exercise regime in the New Year and now struggle to keep it going, it might be because you didn't understand what was going on for you. There are reasons for procrastination and it can be stopped! In ​today's podcast​, I'm going to show you how 'failing' can help you.

We'll look at:

  • Why you lose control and how to regain it
  • The origins of self-control in your brain
  • Recognising how stress, tiredness, and distraction stop you taking control
  • Retraining your brain to take action
  • I'll also share my experiences with impulse buying & how I stop myself

We'll discuss the small steps that add up to a big change.
